Hey everyone, first time on the subreddit.
I've lost, so far, 92lbs (6"1' male, gone from 301 to 209), I've got about 27lbs to go before I hit my target.
The obvious factors, such as smaller clothes fitting better and not being so tired and sweaty all the time, are there. On paper, I can see how far I've come. But despite this, I still sometimes have a hard time believing it. I'm used to comparing myself to others because I'd get relief in not being the biggest person in the room on the occasions it would happen. A little self centered, I know, but I used to be like "well, they're bigger than me, so it's not that bad", it was a denial tactic. But now that I'm approaching a healthier weight, I still find myself comparing my weight and size to others. And rather than concluding that I'm reaching a healthier weight and other people have realistically stayed their consistent weight, when I see more and more people that are at or slightly above my current weight, I have to fight off the "they must have gained weight now that they're bigger than me" thoughts I used to use a denial/comfort effect when I was larger.
My question is, is this something you've been through as well? I was always so used to being the biggest person nearly everywhere I went than, rather than praise myself for what I've achieved so far, I almost push it away. Do other people have a hard time accepting their weight loss, as if they feel they don't deserve it or aren't used to it? How do you get past it?
